My morning drive to work, grinding through slow moving traffic, frequent periods at a complete standstill.

I have another post in mind that I will share this evening.

For now, welcome to the static world of the R0 outside Brussel.

Shot through the window glass of my car.

Glass.

Mirror.

Life. Reflected.

Have a great day!

transitory treasure

transitory treasure

Treasure is transitory, illusory.

One person’s treasure is another person’s junk.

What was once treasured now gathers dust on the shelf, in the attic, basement, on the table at the flea market.

The real treasure is what we hold inside us.

The feelings we have, for people, places, times.

The memories and hopes that can never turn to dust.

Treasure.

photography101: weekend three three

Sometimes things just happen.

This is a very rough and ready clip.

These people appeared in the street and came straight at me.

So I lifted my camera and just fired away as they walked around me.

I just had to share!

“And a sentimentalist, my dear Darlington, is a man who sees an absurd value in everything, and doesn’t know the market place of any single thing.”

– Oscar Wilde, Lady Windermere’s Fan

Not really sure about these.

Woke at four am with an idea.

Why not take a shot of a coin with the EU Parliament building in the background?

Not that hard to try, as the EU Parliament is right outside the window.

The scariest part of this (apart from the fact that I am dreaming of posts for #photo101)?

What if that euro coin fell off and landed on some poor soul’s head from the ninth floor?

If that had happened, I wouldn’t be writing this.

Penny euro for your thoughts?

Trees snatched through the window of a speeding car.

Morning light.
